I have had problems with breathing on and off since I was a little kid.
My doctor eventually diagnosed me with asthma, but it took a couple years before he figured it out. My mother and I would constantly get bronchitis every Autumn season when the leaves would hit the ground and start to produce mold in the air. The spores would get into our lungs and wreak havoc on our immune systems. I was prescribed rescue inhalers to use as well as nasal sprays. I wasn’t really sure at the time what worked better to relieve my symptoms, but I do know that whenever I got sick, I got really sick. As time went on I learned to avoid getting exposed to a lot of the same environmental triggers. Sometimes that meant wearing face masks when I mowed my lawn. I also started using air purifiers at a certain point in time. As long as you can afford the price tag on one they’re a really good investment. Taking contaminants out of the air that would otherwise end up in your lungs. I think the air purifiers are worth every penny if you manage to get your hands on one. The only thing I’ll say is a downside is the price of the filters that you have to buy every 6 months to replace. They’re really good because they’re HEPA filters, but they’re also not cheap when you buy them individually. Sometimes you can save on air purifier filters if you get them in bulk. It just depends on what kind you decide to get for your house.
